Chapter 13

Prefecture, study.

Liu Biao is going through Jingzhou government affairs and making comments one by one.

At this time, Liu Biao was hale and hearty, with ruddy complexion and bright eyes. He did not look like an old man who had just recovered from a serious illness. After more than a month of careful care, Liu Biao's body has basically recovered.

"Dong! Dong

Knock on the door, outside the study.

Tsai came in with the medicine, put it on the table and said, "husband, it's time to drink it."

Liu Biao picked up the bowl and drank it.

Usually, Liu Biao put down the bowl and Cai took it and left. This time, I didn't leave immediately. Liu Biao raised his head and asked, "is there anything else, madam?"

Chua's manner was very awkward, and he wanted to talk and stop.

Liu Biao had a sharp look in his eyes and said, "what happened? Is Qi Er disobedient. Don't be afraid. I'll take care of him for you. He's almost 30 years old. He's still not steady and obedient. "

Cai shook his head and said, "husband, it has nothing to do with Childe Qi."

Liu Biao thought a little and asked, "did the people in your family offend you? Damn it

"It's not," Cai said

Liu Biao couldn't see Cai's desire to talk and stop. He asked, "what's the matter?"

After arousing Liu Biao's curiosity, Cai said slowly: "I think that my husband has just recovered from a serious illness, and my body is strong. I should celebrate. I would like to suggest that my husband call up the scholars of Jingzhou to hold a literary festival to celebrate. "

"Ha ha ha I think it's something. It's simple. " Liu Biao was even more warm in his heart. He took Cai's hand and said, "it's still my wife's thoughtfulness. Thank you for your kindness."

Cai said earnestly: "since we are going to hold the Jingzhou cultural fair, we should at least invite Pang Degong, Sima Hui, Huang Chengyan, Kuai Yue, Kuai Liang, Yi Ji, Cai Mao and other young heroes of the younger generation, such as Zhuge Liang, Pang Tong, Xu Shu, Meng Jian and so on. This is a feast for my husband after he recovers. We can't be careless. "

Liu Biao frowned and said, "I'm afraid it's difficult to gather so many people. After all, Pang Degong, Sima Hui and Huang Chengyan are hermits, so they may not be able to come. "

Cai said, "my husband, Jingzhou shepherd, can't even invite a few people? Without them, the Jingzhou Cultural Association held by my husband would be looked down upon. "

On hearing Cai's words, Liu Biao immediately said, "that's right. We must let them participate in it!"

With a look of adoration, Cai said, "my husband's order is sure to be successful."

Liu Biao couldn't help laughing and said, "you can consult with Mr. Cai about Jingzhou culture society. After the constitution is made, let him come to me and seal the seal of the State animal husbandry, and then you can inform me one by one. "

"Well, I understand."

Cai said: "when you review government affairs, you should combine work with rest. Relaxation is the right way. Don't hurt yourself."

Liu Biao replied, "I understand for my husband."

When Cai's goal was achieved, he left.

Back in the yard, Cai immediately sent for Cai Mao. It wasn't long before Cai Mao came to the yard. When he saw Cai, he saluted and asked, "sister, what's the matter?"

"Sit down and say!" Chua waved his hand.

Cai Mao sat down and asked anxiously, "has Zhou Mu's body changed again?"

Cai said: "my husband's body has completely recovered."

Cai Mao was relieved. What he was most worried about was Liu Biao's health.

Cai said directly, "my husband is going to invite the great scholars of Jingzhou to hold the Jingzhou culture meeting. I'm here to discuss the arrangement."

Cai Mao looked strange and asked, "well, what does the Lord do when he holds a literary festival? This kind of thing is thankless and easy to be criticized. "

After listening to this, Cai said in a deep voice, "this is my suggestion. On the ground of my husband's recovery, I will hold the Jingzhou Cultural Association."

Cai Mao didn't understand any more. He asked, "why does my sister do this?"

For CAI, Cai Mao quite understand, can't in order to please Liu Biao's joy, it's hard to hold Jingzhou cultural club. After all, it is difficult to invite talents from all sides.

Cai replied: "the purpose of this Jingzhou Literary Festival is to make Cong'er a great success and gain the trust and favor of her husband. In addition, Liu Qi should be excluded. The last point is to make Liu Xiu lose face. Before that, Liu Xiu was very good in front of her husband, which caused her husband's idea. If she didn't suppress her, I was worried that it would bring threats to Cong'er and affect Cong'er's status. "

Cai Mao pondered for a moment and said, "my sister's consideration is also correct. Liu Xiu's performance twice in a row has already been appreciated by some of the men and women under the command of Zhou mu. Although he can't inherit the position of Zhou mu, he and Liu Qi are very close and must be suppressed. "

Cai said: "therefore, this Jingzhou cultural association should not be careless. It must be carefully designed. You should carefully check the people invited and the links to be carried out at the meeting, so as to give Cong'er the greatest opportunity. "Cai Mao said with a smile, "let me handle this matter."

Cai said: "after the constitution is made, go directly to your husband and ask him to use his seal, and then inform everyone."

"I understand!"

Cai Mao smiles and nods.

It is true that there are some difficulties in holding the cultural fair, but it is not too difficult for Cai Mao.

After a discussion, Cai Mao left. Back home, Cai Mao was alone in his study. He carefully considered the Jingzhou Cultural Association, and soon decided on the person to be invited, as well as the time and place to hold it.

With the written plan, Cai Mao went directly to the prefecture. After seeing Liu Biao, Cai Mao asked Liu Biao to review it, and then began to send people to inform him one by one.

The news of the Jingzhou Cultural Association soon spread.

However, Liu Xiu is always reading books, practicing martial arts, waiting for opportunities.

In the evening, when Liu Xiu was practicing martial arts in the yard, the steward of his family came. The steward's name is Cai di. He is an old man brought from Cai's family when Cai married Liu Biao. He manages the household chores for CAI.

Cai Di is in his early fifties, but he is hale and hearty.

Seeing Liu Xiuqin practicing martial arts, Cai Di said: "the third young master is good at martial arts. Now he is practicing martial arts diligently. Do you still want to wait for Lu Su's visit?"

Liu Xiu did not stop or answer, and continued to practice martial arts.

Cai Di opened his mouth again, but Liu Xiu didn't pay attention to it, but the speed of his sword was faster. The sharp point of the sword, with the sharp whistling of the thorn, passed by Cai Di from time to time. Cai Di was so scared that he stepped back and did not dare to speak at will.

After half a sound, Liu Xiu stopped and asked, "what's the matter with manager Cai?"

Cai Di replied: "Madam said that on June 1, the governor of Zhou Mu will hold the Jingzhou cultural festival in Lianxiang building. The lady said, "let's make sure you attend on time on June 1st. Don't lose the face of the state shepherd."

Liu Xiu waved and said, "I know!"

With that, Liu Xiu went to his study and ignored Cai di.

"Well, see how long you can be arrogant."

Cai Di gave a cold smile and then turned to leave Liu Xiu's yard.

Liu Xiu returned to his study and sat down with a dignified look in his eyes. Liu Biao's holding of the Jingzhou cultural fair is bound to be very grand. However, Cai's special arrangement for him to go, I'm afraid it's very kind.

"Somebody

Voice falls, a servant girl came in.

The maid's name is Dongju, and she is the servant of Liu Xiu's daily life. She is ordinary in appearance, but exquisite in character. Because of the character of Dongju, she was not bullied by others.

"Young master!" Dongju road.

Liu Xiu said, "do you know about Dongju, Jingzhou Wenhui?"

With a smile on her face, Dongju replied, "I'll tell you, young master. I've heard from the servant girl in Cong's yard that all the great Confucians in Jingzhou will be invited to the Jingzhou Literary Association. At that time, the governor of the state will also go in person. I heard that nujingcong was studying in Yangzhou for the sake of fame. "

Liu xiulue thought and understood.

This time, I'm afraid it was specially held for Liu Cong. Of course, it is also possible that Cai wanted to take the opportunity to deal with him.

Liu Xiu waved his hand and said, "I know. Go down."

Dong Ju retreats, and Liu Xiu sits in his study, thinking about the Jingzhou literary society. Jingzhou Literary Association was Liu Cong's opportunity, but it was Liu Xiu's opportunity.
